Zucchini bread

When we were little my dad had a garden and must have grown zucchini. I remember mom making zucchini bread all the time. I especially loved when she would make CHOCOLATE zucchini bread, it was moist, sweet, and delicious!

Facebook is great for sharing recipes! A friend posted the status “making zucchini bread,” and I remembered mom's freshly baked treat. I asked my friend Deb for this recipe and she gladly shared. (That's how I came across the recipes for Veggie Pot Pie and Marbled-Chocolate Banana Bread, too) Here it is for you all to bake at home!

Just made chocolate banana swirl bread, which my kids like w/o the choc. Thought about trying the choc swirl method to zucchini bread which my kids don't like as much. Glad to know it isn't a weird combo, then again I suppose choc. goes with anything!

For those who are moving towards a gluten-free diet, quick breads can easily be made GF by substituting an equal amount of GF flour (Bob's Red Mill makes a GREAT all-purpose flour) and adding 1 t of xanthum gum per loaf of bread. All my baked goods these days are GF... no need to suffer without tasty breads and cookies! :)
